Scott Green Steps Down After 8 Years | Boise News

After eight transformative years, University of Idaho President Scott Green is retiring June 30, 2027 — the longest-serving president since 1970. He took over in 2019 amid a dire budget crisis, steering the university through financial recovery, the pandemic, and major growth — including R1 research status, record enrollment, and landmark facilities like the ICCU Arena and the nation’s largest research dairy. Under his leadership, U of I earned seven straight “Best Value” honors from U.S. News. Green, who’s “doubling down” until his exit, leaves behind a clear strategic roadmap as the Board of Education begins the search for his successor, expected to be named by Spring 2027.
